V. Ocelik et al., EBSP study of reaction zone in SiC/Al metal matrix composite prepared by laser melt injection, J MATER SCI, 36(20), 2001, pp. 4845-4849
The reaction zone in SiC/Al metal matrix composite layer prepared by Laser
Melt Injection process is studied by Electron Back-Scatter Diffraction. Spe
cial attention is dedicated to the sample preparation process and also to t
he automatic indexing procedure when patterns of back-scattered electrons a
re evaluated during the surface scanning by electron beam. The orientation
relationship between ceramic particles and phase formed in the reaction zon
e was observed by both transmission electron microscopy and by EBSD. (C) 20
